    lainith replied to Ebeza's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  3. Tattoo's and School

    lainith replied to nursingstudent221's topic in General Students

  5. Nursing School Drama queens

    lainith replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    All I can say is that this is why when people ask me how I did on exams, whether I did well or not, my response is always, "Good!" It is no one's business how I score on exams. And if one person...

  6. is my school normal? skills teaching for clinicals

    lainith replied to CeilingCat's topic in General Students

  7. Advice to Students: say "thank you"

    lainith replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

  8. Anyone with a medical background before NS?

    lainith replied to wmnshealth's topic in General Students

  11. How do you wear your hair for clinicals?

    lainith replied to Kamdyn's topic in General Students

    I noticed SO many people wearing their hair down but it gets in my face and seems unprofessional. I wear my hair in a ponytail every time with my bangs bobby-pinned back in some fashion. I actually...

    lainith replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

  13. Oy, the kvetching!

    lainith replied to madnurse2b's topic in General Students

    I love the willingness and eagerness to learn! Even when I think someone asked a really "duh" question, I figure at least they asked! I love the extra curiosity that the really young students have and...

    lainith replied to VidaUrbana's topic in General Students

    The only person I am out to please is myself. I shoot as high as I can. I WANT that A but I am happy with what I earn as long as I pass my classes. My grades a direct reflection of how hard I work. I...

  15. Becoming a nurse for the money...

    lainith replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    I don't know if I could do the work if I didn't get paid but the nicer salary is definitely one of the reasons I went into nursing as OPPOSED to another area of the medical field. I knew for a long...

  17. Any Good Books to Read Before Nursing School?

    lainith replied to fadedstars34's topic in General Students

    I have that book too. It was pretty good. Honestly, before nursing school started I started doing a couple NCLEX questions a night out of my books and flash cards and the other reading that I already...

  18. Should I keep my Micro book???

    lainith replied to irish_fiddler747's topic in General Students

    lainith replied to bcskittlez's topic in General Students

    Like the PPs have said: practice, practice, practice. Get all the time in in lab that you can, ask family and friends to let you practice skills on them. I wouldn't have made it through lab had my...

  22. Nurses are made, not born

    lainith replied to crunchynut32's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Trust me, I wasn't born with the knowledge I have gained in nursing school. But the river runs both directions. I also couldn't have ever been taught to feel the compassion that I and fellow nursing...

  23. I wish I had studied this before Nursing 101.......

    lainith replied to twins2005's topic in General Students

    Math is a HUGE part of nursing but fear not! Most of the calculations and formulas that you need to know are not too difficult to learn and use. Brush up on your basic math and skills from algebra....
